Organizational Archetypes in Higher Education Birnbaum describes the lenses to view higher educational behavior as archetypes. These four archetypes, bureaucratic, collegial, political, and anarchical, share some traits but have distinctive differences. As discussed earlier these archetypes are based on the frames of Bolman and Deal.
